SHANE van Gisbergen will sport the striking livery of Tootsies at the Nashville Superspeedway this weekend.
The world-famous honky tonk in downtown Nashville has been a long-time backer of Trackhouse Racing’s NASCAR Cup Series exploits.
The venue has played host to the who’s who of the music scene over the years, from Willie Nelson to Kid Rock, Keith Urban, and beyond.
Through the 13 points paying races to date in 2026, SVG has had carried major sponsorship from tech companies SuperFile and Safety Culture, automotive accessory manufacturer WeatherTech, and energy drink Red Bull.
Also in his greater sponsor list are underwear brand Jockey, burger chain Wendy’s, and Australian company phone accessory brand Quad Lock.
This weekend, the Kiwi will look to keep the momentum rolling from Monday morning in Charlotte.
Van Gisbergen was a star of the Coca-Cola 600, where he finished within the top 10 in all three stages, before a bad move on a late choose cone decision relegated him to 11th when the race was cut short due to rain.
During the race, he had an average running position of 7.81, and he led for 11 laps, his most to date in a single oval race from his 63-race Cup Series career.
Earlier this year, van Gisbergen led three laps from the Daytona, plus laps in the subsequent races at Atlanta and Circuit of the Americas, before dominating Watkins Glen, where he topped the charts for 74 circuits.
Coming into this weekend, he is back to 14th in points, with a handy buffer to the Chase cut-off in 16th position.
In the Cup Series, he has one career Nashville start from 2025, where he converted 23rd in the start to 25th at the chequered flag with a lead lap finish.
One year earlier in the O’Reilly Sedries, he finished 15th.
